So, update on my swap...
I did all I could to put it together in my backyard. One of the last things I had to do was bleed the brakes and clutch line. The brakes seem okay but I'm having an issue with the clutch, [seen here...]
The last thing to do (besides drop the freakin trans again) is to build the exhaust. Here's how that's going:
I bought stainless pre-bent tubing (from Amazon!) and used a sketching program at work to give me degrees for where to cut. It was a lot of what you'd expect; test fitting, shaving, testing, tacking, measure out the next one. The progress you see took nearly a whole day.
To merge the two pipe, instead of buying a Y pipe or just cutting them diagonally into one, I took it a step further.
This design mimics the factory Y merge on the Z3. Work in progress!

& since I don't have the time or resources to figure out what's wrong with the clutch, I have to tow it to a shop :( which will probably be JMP.

I don't have any recs for your area, but I can share my experience with driveshafts. You're looking at a minimum of $400 to have it done, because every place I've been to either can't do it or claims they must replace the irreplaceable U-joints before balancing... which ends up with that final cost. Having said that, I have ordered my rebuilt driveshaft from http://www.driveshaftspecialist.com/...0html/BMW.html and sent in mine as a core.

Your details are, uh, sparse lol. I have an extra set of M52 cams that might be available.. I'd have to see if they aren't already set aside for something else.
Edit: I have 4 sets. I can donate a set in exchange for a beerLast edited by Chilezen; 12-01-2021, 12:55 PM.
